Needlework 12 Days of Christmas - 9th day...

On the 9th day of Christmas...

...SALing. Now I have stitched along with online friends but for the first time I am am doing a SAL with two of my quilt sisters. We are getting together for a playdate to kick off each pillow of this project so it makes it so much fun! Bep (no blog) and Saskia are ready so we have to set out next date and start on the next section of this pillow Christmas tree. You can read more about it here.

I am using some of the homespun fabrics I bought from my friend's shop which I talked about in this post. I am going to finish each pillow as I go. The trick is getting it filled but not too full so it hangs well when they are all connected. I am anxious to get more of these finished. Shall we set our next playdate Bep and Saskia?

About Me

I am complete when I am busy with needle and thread whether it is stitching or quilting. My needlework blog title is inspired by my love of history connected to needlework. A needle and thread connect us to women who passed before us. My home and garden blog is named after our tiny getaway in the woods ~ Cranberry Cottage.

I want to thank everyone who has honored me with an award or tag. I have decided to make my blog an award free zone as I find it difficult to pick and choose myself among the blogs I love. I think every blog is great in its own way.
